She-Hulk: Attorney at Law continues Jennifer Walter's journey to becoming She-Hulk, and the latest episode hints that an intense conflict will brew between her and Titania. Despite mixed receptions, things may change in the remaining five episodes as the series turning point may stir things up for Jennifer.
One of the more entertaining parts of the series came from the moments with a reformed Emil Blonsky, who reemerged in the MCU after first appearing in The Incredible Hulk. Having last seen him in Shang-Chi, fans enjoyed the encounter between Emil and Jennifer, especially providing insight into Emil's transformation. His time in jail made him turn to haikus to redeem himself, and through the show's Twitter account, they were finally revealed, Emil Blonsky's haikus were touching, and this inspired Redditors to come up with MCU-inspired poetry that will make any fan laugh out loud.
Golden Daggers Club
Busting out of here
Joining this wizard fight club
What could there go Wong?
Redditor macsare1 came up with the brilliant haiku that made hundreds of other Redditors laugh. Emil's haikus were rather intense and touching, so to imagine him writing this silly haiku is worthy of more than a chuckle.
Fans learned that Emil had written a haiku to Bruce Banner to apologize for his past behaviors, so it is not difficult to imagine him writing another to Wong. After all, they seemed to be on amazing terms after the fight in the Golden Daggers Club, which is the inspiration behind this haiku.
Abomination Versus Wong
This fight ain't so hard
Holy sh*t, is that my fist?
Just knocked myself out
With the creative haiku, poet bigC_94 reminded fans about the clever and hilarious way Wong defeated Abomination in the Golden Daggers Club. The Sorcerer Supreme resented a painful punch Emil gave him, so as payback, he opened a portal for Blonsky to knock himself out.
Given that Abomination is stronger than Hulk, it is understandable that Emil would find the battle against Wong easy. However, Wong proved that brutal force is not always the answer, and sometimes, a smart move is better than anything else. With Wong becoming a beloved character in Phase Four, Wong's reappearance in She-Hulk has left many wondering in what places he could show up next in the MCU.
Wong's Chat With The Abomination
Sigh, maybe you will
Start controlling those punches
Like we practiced, hmmm?
User albene was inspired by his fellow Redditors, who took the scene in the Golden Daggers Club as an inspiration for haikus and added it to the thread. While others wrote the poems with original verses, the Redditor noticed that one of Wong's dialogues fitted perfectly.
The quote the user refers to is delivered right after the fight at the Golden Daggers Club where Abomination has regained consciousness. There's a hint that Wong has been working with him to control his strength and emotions, and one of the things only comic fans know about Abomination is how hard it can be for Emil to do so.
I Am Groot
I am Groot
I am Groot! I am Groot
I am Groot
Some may argue that this poem does not follow the syllables rules of haiku. The Japanese poem has to have a verse of five syllables, the second line with seven, and the final part as five. However, as Samantha_Cruz said to defend her piece, her poem could be following the rules due to Groot's distinct language.
Groot is one of the most powerful alien monsters in the Marvel Comics, and he doesn't need to say much to express himself. His fellow Guardians of the Galaxy are the only ones that can understand what he is saying, and maybe one of them is needed to read this poem and confirm if it is a haiku or not.
I Am Iron Man
The best response to
"I am inevitable"?
"I am Iron Man"
Redditor Brilliant-Winner-557 proved he is indeed brilliant (as his user name describes) and came up with this haiku that is as funny as it is touching. If Abomination wanted to write a moving piece to honor Iron Man's sacrifice to save the world, this would have been perfect.
Only a few fans remember that before becoming Abomination, Emil Blonsky taught creative writing (which explains his way of dealing with his feelings while he was imprisoned). It is heartwarming to see that he did not stop inspiring others to write after he was incarcerated, and Redditors are following the steps of the great and sensitive man he is.
Captain America
The USO Tour?
Captain America Fu…!
Your a** is too good
Redditor Little_Aerie_5753 referenced one of the biggest reveals yet in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. As fans remember in "A Normal Amount of Rage," Bruce Banner confesses to Jennifer Walters that, contrary to the fanbase beliefs, Captain America lost his virginity in the USO Tour of 1943.
Most Twitter reactions to She Hulk's Captain America reveal expressed everyone's shock, given that most people believed Steve Rogers was a 100-year-old virgin. He did use the expression "fondue" to refer to an intimate encounter, but after all, he is "America's *ss," so it is not that hard to believe he lost his virginity.
Marvel Superheroes
Marvel Characters Face
Problems Harder Than Most Do
Yet I'm not able to properly finish a haiku
It is not a proper haiku, but it is a hilarious poem that recognizes it. CheeseyCookieMonster reminded fans how, compared to Marvel superheroes, normal humans can be inexperienced with simple tasks, such as writing a Japanese short poem.
Iron Man has a powerful suit, Captain America is super athletic, and She-Hulk and Hulk are extremely strong, among other heroes that face extraordinary things every day, which makes writing a haiku seem like something silly. However, if it was that simple, other Marvel characters besides Abomination would have written them already.
The Avengers
The stones destroyed.
Heroes are scattered like dust.
A world to Avenge.
Just as Emil Blonsky's official haikus, user Wylde Squirrel wrote one that was beautiful and moving, and reminded other fans of one of the MCU best movies: Avengers: Infinity War. The poem effectively transports readers to the scene where Thanos has won, and half the population is gone.
The writer cleverly chose the right elements to vividly revive the image of the tragedy, in spite of having few syllables to express the grief, anger, and hope in restoring what once was before Thanos took so many lives with the snap of his fingers.
Ant-Man And The Wasp
We look like ourselves
Wearing baseball caps and shades
At a baseball game
User Brilliant-Winner-557 did it again and came up with a haiku that captures the hilarious scene in Ant-Man and the Wasp. Scott Lang points out how their efforts to cover their identities with baseball caps and shades just make everyone look like themselves wearing said items.
Indeed, the disguise is not that clever, but it works for some celebrities who try to run from the paparazzi. Given the numerous dialogues that seem to fit in the haiku format, it would be interesting to see a She-Hulk post-scene where characters, or Abomination, only spoke in said poetic way.
Hulk In Space
Hulk is out in space
Do you know what my head hears?
Star Wars theme disco
Every fan of Star Wars, like the writer of this funny haiku, jaydofmo, knows about this musical funky masterpiece that could fit perfectly in any of the Marvel movies that are set in space. Without a doubt, Star-Lord would gladly dance to it, as well as Groot.
And Hulk may be the next MCU character that rejoices on an excellent movie soundtrack and the disco Star Wars theme does to his film what the 80's music did to Guardians of the Galaxy and Guns and Roses did to Thor: Love and Thunder.
